Hello blog-world! It has been a few weeks since I last wrote. I have been playing softball to keep me going, but have not been very good at doing other workouts. However, today I really kicked it in gear and did a "transition" workout from bike to run. I biked 10.01 miles in 40:07, which is a 4:00 minute mile and an average speed of 15 miles/hour. I wanted to do better than that, but still it is not terrible. Then I put my bike up and transitioned to a 2 mile run that I completed in 21:28. I had to stop twice due to cramps in my calves, but my pace was still 10 minutes per mile and my speed was 5.79 miles/hour. This was a great hour of training!

Next week I will go back to my swimming routines to get my lungs back to where they need to be. From now until October I will be training heavily on Triathlon workouts. I do feel that cross training and strength training is necessary to maintain good all around health and strength. On days where I only run, I will try to incorporate a body rock routine to increase my strength. This weekend we are going out of town for the holiday...to the beach! I really love a good beach run, so I am going to try very hard to do it twice! We shall see how it goes...hopefully I won't get the "vacation lazies" and push through for some good training. Here's to the next workout! Until then...
April :)
